Looking unassuming, actually even Li Ye's master, True Man Suoxing, would show some respect when facing these old seniors, as cultivation is not merely about one's attainment.

At this moment.

One of the elderly female cultivators, with hair like silver but still standing with a straight posture, spoke:

"Ha, this child is interesting."

"You're Suoxing's pupil, right?"

"How about this, you perform a piece of the Emotion Song for us, and whatever you wish to do, we will naturally grant your request."

She evidently held more authority among them.

As she spoke, the others nodded in agreement, "Let's do as Yuexia says. Whatever you have in mind, play a piece of the Emotion Song first, then we'll discuss."

Li Ye's heart was set.

He already recognized who Senior Yuexia truly was; she was actually the genuine junior sister to True Man Miaodu!

Now, the various Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants making up the Marketplace were almost entirely cultivated by her alone. Presumably, there was also her participation in the Earth Immortal Technique.

She asked him to perform the Emotion Song, probably to assess his state of mind.

"In that case, I shall offer my humble performance!"

Li Ye sat cross-legged directly.

After a brief calming of his mind, he pinched his fingers, held the spiritual light of the Emotion Song in his hand, and began to play.

Gentle streams of Immortal Light began to emit from around him.

Turning into branches of Immortal Ribbon-like willow, gently winding around these seasoned Golden Core True Men, transmitting Li Ye's transformed state of mind through the melody to them.

— His mind is naturally very serene.

It is the leisure of boating on the lake playing with beavers and Flood Dragons; the fleeting moments of busy times as rain falls and the wind blows; the joy of harvest amidst the fields during autumn where one finds cool shade...

There's also the drizzling rain and snowy winds forming a small courtyard, where he lies in the courtyard's recliner holding a beaver, freeing his mind from all constraints.

Heaven and earth are expansive and vast.

No scene could ever obscure Li Ye's desire for unrestrained freedom.

In fact, what he most desires is to simply lie in the courtyard with a beaver and sleep until the world turns dark, anyway, a cultivator neither needs to eat nor solve certain troublesome matters.

The piece quickly comes to an end.

The seniors also swiftly return to clarity.

Many among them show a kind expression towards Li Ye.

This mind seems very ordinary.

Yet those engaged in cultivation are often burdened by various karmic entanglements; seeking such an unfettered freedom is easier said than done, but unexpectedly, Li Ye has already grasped such realization.

The state of mind conveyed through the Emotion Song is not something that can be feigned.

"Speak."

"Why are you eagerly coming to us old folks, what do you intend to do?"

"Could it be you're eyeing our Spirit Patterns?"

Yuexia smiled gently, casting a glance at her longtime companions, "Then I can talk it over with you in detail, though it won't come cheaply."

Li Ye did not shy away, and straightforwardly said, "I wish to exchange the treasures unearthed from chaos for the usage rights of your Spirit Patterns."

"Oh?"

"Hmm..."

"That seems fine."

The seasoned Golden Core True Men looked at Li Ye and ultimately agreed.

They indeed lacked various materials, but treasures birthed from chaos were always in high demand.

At their level, researching certain outcomes consumed resources that were astronomical in scale, even the affluent Four Seasons Sect needed careful consideration before making decisions.

Moreover, there existed competition amongst each other.

Coincidentally, the review in this aspect was done by True Man Suoxing...

Hmm.

Even seasoned Golden Core True Men might feel troubled by "experiment funding" being limited.

Thus.

Li Ye is indeed impressive.

...

Very quickly.

Where there should have been an expansive space, platforms were erected, holding various treasures extracted from chaos.

After being burned by Li Ye's Tribulation Fire, over a thousand diverse treasures were revealed, and without appraising them, were directly placed over there.

Allowing the seasoned Golden Core True Men to choose themselves and provide Spirit Patterns.

Initially, Li Ye wasn't paying much attention, not knowing what kinds of Spirit Patterns the seasoned Golden Core True Men possessed.

But upon finding out.

Only then did he realize how gravely mistaken he was.

"This... ..."

"Are you really going to exchange this Spirit Pattern for this piece of Azure Light?"

Li Ye looked at the paper handed to him by True Man Yuexia, which contained the Spirit Pattern, and the description was somewhat terrifying.

It was named the "Transformational Spirit Pattern."

Simply put, when engrained into the essence of a living being, that being becomes free from the torments of reincarnation, retaining memories and innate spiritual power to simply go through the motion, and reincarnate within the region designated by the Spirit Pattern.

Though it's only once.

Yet it offers a complete memory-retaining reincarnation!

"Yes." True Man Yuexia casually pushed this precious Spirit Pattern towards Li Ye: "You shouldn't lose your rationality just because this Spirit Pattern is formidable.

All reincarnation is predestined.

If you retain memories to reincarnate, you're taking someone else's place.

The burden of this karma is yours to bear with this engraved Spirit Pattern."

She took the Azure Light and examined it closely, then said meaningfully, "This Spirit Pattern should also be effective for the souls within Dusuo Mountain."

Li Ye nonchalantly received the Spirit Pattern and nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, I will use it wisely, Senior."

"Though I researched this Spirit Pattern, I too am indebted with karma; do you know where this Spirit Pattern originates?"

Before Li Ye could ask, she answered herself: "It came from Compassion Fruits; to be precise, this Spirit Pattern is a manifestation of the great power of Compassion.

To depict it, the water upon Compassion Wheat is required."

Upon finishing.

True Man Yuexia went to seek out other appealing items, while Li Ye, after a brief pause, shook his head.

He merely intended to resurrect his two Flint Fire Crystal Insects; it couldn't be that significant karma, could it? Nothing that would overwhelm a Golden Core True Man favored by qi fortune?

Thus he quickly set this matter aside for the time being.

Turning he approached True Man Su Bing'er from the Su Family who was waving him over.

What this True Man valued was a drop of chaotic Spiritual Water—which, reportedly, contained all this world's spiritual power; though named Spiritual Water, it was essentially a water-shaped chaos force.

Its unique effect causes its price to not be high, but its areas of application are extremely vast, with tremendous usage.

It is said that Spiritual Fertility Hall consumes eighty percent of Four Seasons Sect's annual chaotic Spiritual Water supply, with the remaining twenty percent sold internally within the sect through various means.

Upon Li Ye's approach, Su Bing'er said:

"Li Ye, how about this exchange for this item?"

He handed a piece of Spirit Pattern to Li Ye, who upon looking at it, was astonished:

"The fusion method of Spirit Vein Willow integrating with Spirit Vein?"

Bear in mind, the Spirit Vein Willow's uniqueness stems from it being akin to a living, conscious entity capable of self-regulation of spiritual power, sustained by spiritual nourishment rendering its lifespan virtually unending "plant spirit vein."

Consider this.

If the Spirit Plant itself harbors a Spirit Vein, it would certainly use the vein's spiritual power for its growth; cultivating with an entire Spirit Vein would result in a Spirit Plant of exceptional caliber, wouldn't it?

Moreover, constant spiritual power flushing can expedite the ascension of Spirit Plants or Spirit Beasts, rendering numerous benefits with no drawbacks.

This type of Spirit Pattern should be universal and of extremely high value, exchanging it for only a drop of chaotic Spiritual Water?

"Senior Su..."

Just as Li Ye was about to say it wasn't necessary, Su Bing'er shook his head and said:

"Su Huan will be released in a month."

"I know I owe it to you."

"When that time comes, you must visit the Su Family; there are things at home needing to be dealt with, I cannot leave, and must rely upon you."

Upon hearing this.

Li Ye nodded and agreed:

"This is a joyous occasion; I shall surely attend."

As he was about to leave.

Suddenly.

Su Bing'er leaned toward his ear and whispered:

"Su Huan's Nascent Soul has already merged with the Earth Vein Spirit Willow."

"When the time comes...your assistance will be needed."
